Led Zeppelin Signed “Led Zeppelin IV” Album – Signed During 12/9/1971 Bomb Scare Concert with Original Ticket. This rare collector’s LP, signed by Led Zeppelin members Jimmy Page, John Bonham, Robert Plant, and John Paul Jones in ballpoint pen, was autographed during a memorable event known as the ‘Bomb Scare Concert’ at the Coventry Locarno ballroom on December 9, 1971. Recognized by fans as ‘THE BOMB SCARE LP’ in the UK, this album represents one of the few instances of a Led Zeppelin IV LP being signed for a fan during a tumultuous live event. The LP is accompanied by the original ticket with a hole punch, testifying to its authenticity and the unique circumstances of the signing.

Provenance/Authenticity: James Spence Authentication (JSA) Letter of Authenticity, Roger Epperson (REAL) Letter of Authenticity, Gotta Have Rock and Roll Certificate of Authenticity.

Cultural Significance: The December 9, 1971 performance in Coventry is iconic partly due to the mid-concert bomb scare, a situation that brought Led Zeppelin’s concert to a halt. Peter Waterman, then the resident DJ and later a significant figure in the music industry, cleared the venue, marking a historic event where the audience witnessed both disruption and resilience. Led Zeppelin IV, featuring timeless tracks such as “Stairway to Heaven,” represents a pivotal album in the band’s career and rock history.

Condition: Fair. The album shows signs of wear consistent with its age and the unique circumstances of its acquisition. The original ticket with this piece also displays expected wear.
